Tags User Manual PRF-TAG’s 1 System Introduction 1.1 What is PureRF? Vuance’s innovative solutions enable organizations to monitor, track, locate, secure and manage multiple physical assets (key objects and personnel) that are either in motion or static. Vuance helps organizations alleviate wasted time and resources and provides the ultimate solution for authentication, validation, identification, location and real-time monitoring of its assets.
Tags User Manual PRF-TAG’s The following describes the signal flow of a PureRF system: A PureRF receivers are deployed throughout the monitored space in order to pick up the RF signals that are transmitted by PureRF tags that are installed on monitored assets (for example, in the drawing above, a person and a copy machine). The size of the monitored space can vary from a single door to an entire campus covering wide areas both indoors and outdoors.
Tags User Manual PRF-TAG’s NOTE: The PureRF Initializer is a device used to configure tags and to set up their operational parameters, such as: Tag On/Off, Tag Type, Sensors On/Off, transmissions timings, alarms and so on. The Initializer is the only device that can perform two-way communication with tags using a combination of the RF and LF channels that are incorporated in each tag. 1.2 What is a PureRF Tag? The PureRF Tag is Vuance’s RFID tag. RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification.
Tags User Manual PRF-TAG’s • Tag Activator: Whenever a tag enters into the range of an activator, the tag picks up the activator's unique ID and adds it to the transmitted message. This indicates that the tag is very close to that activator (approximately within 2 meters/ 6 feet). • Tag Sensors: The tag can incorporate up to three types of internal sensors for indicating its status. Each sensor controls one bit in the transmitted message.
Tags User Manual PRF-TAG’s tag’s message (which contains its ID) and adds to it the received signal strength and its own (receiver's) ID. Thus enabling the PureRF system to determine the location of the tag (and the asset to which it is attached). Each PureRF receiver has a defined coverage area and the receivers of a system must be deployed to cover the entire area in which tags are to be tracked.
Tags User Manual PRF-TAG’s 2 Scope 2.1 Overview A PureRF Tag is VUANCE’s RFID tag. RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. A PureRF RFID tag is a miniature electronic PCB combined with an antenna in a compact package. The packaging is structured to allow the PureRF tag to be attached to an object to be tracked. It can be attached to or incorporated into a product, animal, or person for the purpose of identification and location detection using radio waves.

Tags User Manual PRF-TAG’s 3 Technical Description TAG components block diagram. • Battery: Lithium Battery provides life-span of up to 5 years pending on battery usage profile that is determined by tag configuration and usage scenario. • SAW Resonator: Resonator that supplies the RF frequency. • Magnetic Field Detection: Channel that communicates with external device such as Initilaizer (to set and control the TAG) and Activator. • Microcontroller: Handles communications and sensors.
Tags User Manual PRF-TAG’s 4 Main Features • Reliable low power consumption. Battery life is estimated at 5 years*. • Proprietary algorithm oversees communication between Tags and Readers • Anti-Collision algorithm allows Reader identification of multiple Tags simultaneously • TamperDetect™ feature can trigger alarm reports if Tags are removed from assets or vehicles • Adjustable tag read range within 0.5 to 500 feet (0.
